In addition to the printables that can be used for any country study, I make additional sheets for specific countries ~ mapping activities and flag notebooking sheets {and sometimes more!}.

Our studies of Asia included units on the following countries:

China

India

Israel

Japan

Korea

Russia {also part of Europe}

Below I have included links to the printables for each country as well as links for our favorite books and resources, along with blog posts that provide our weekly study schedule and some great websites to help you in your study of that country.

Our studies of China were kicked off by a lapbook on the summer Olympics. After a week we spent two weeks learning about China. We had fun writing our name in Chinese, reading the Story of Ping, learning about Mt. Everest and the Great Wall of China, making egg drop soup, and learning about many different missionaries: Jeanette Li, Eric Liddell, Hudson Taylor, Gladys Alward, Lottie Moon, and Isobel Kuhn. We then wrapped up our study by doing a unit on pandas. If you'd like to see more detailed blog posts with day-by-day plans and additional links/resources, here are the links:

One of the books that we really enjoyed using during our study of Israel was Welcome to Israel! We learned about Israel's flag, prayer shawls {since the design of the flag is similar to prayer shawl designs}, the geography of Israel, took some wonderful virtual tours of Israel, learned about Israeli currency, and ended our tour by putting together a yummy meal of baked felafel sandwiches.

We studied Japan for three weeks and had fun with several "hands-on" activities: origami, watercolors, calligraphy, puppet theatres and Japanese screens. We also mapped Japan, studied about Japan's flag, learned basic facts about Japan, talked about the Mon, studied woodcuts/paintings, and more! Since Japan has over 70 volcanoes, we finished up our country study by doing a unit on volcanoes and attempting to build a volcano of our own.

Our study of Korea ended up being more focused on South Korea, but we still had plenty of material to cover. Korean currency, Kimchi pots, Hahoe mask drama, making a yummy meal of beef tips and rice, and studying Korean numbers as well as making our own acrostic. We also learned about the missionary Bob Pierce, talked about Buddhism, looked at pictures of different temples {taking a 360 virtual tour}, and read some fun books together.

Our study of India took three weeks since we added on a unit study about tigers on to the end. During our study of India we learned about the art of rangoli, {cyber}visited the Taj Mahal, read about the missionaries Hudson Taylor & Amy Carmichael, learned about the geography of India and at the end of our study we made an Indian meal ~ chicken curry with Naan bread.
